Every Marvel TV Show in the Disney+ Era Ranked

Marvel's small-screen adaptations have a rich history, from the classic "Incredible Hulk" to the Netflix series featuring Daredevil and Luke Cage. While previous attempts to integrate these shows into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) faltered, Marvel Studios launched a new era in 2021 with interconnected Disney+ series. With "Spider-Man: Freshman Year" as the latest addition, we're ranking the preceding 12 Disney+ Marvel shows.

Disney+ Marvel TV Shows Ranked

12. Secret Invasion

Widely considered the weakest entry, "Secret Invasion" fell short of expectations. Despite its source material's significance in Marvel Comics, the series lacked a compelling narrative, hampered by slow pacing, a questionable AI-generated opening sequence, and questionable character choices. The director's unfamiliarity with the comics hindered the adaptation. While aiming for the espionage feel of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," it failed to capture that essence.

11. Echo

A significant improvement over "Secret Invasion," "Echo" still ranks lower due to a shortened episode count leaving some viewers wanting more. Alaqua Cox's portrayal of Echo is strong, and the series features impressive action sequences, notably a fight with Daredevil. Its groundbreaking representation of Indigenous creatives is a significant positive.

10. Moon Knight

"Moon Knight," starring Oscar Isaac, didn't resonate as strongly with viewers. The exploration of Marc Spector's multiple personalities and the surrealist blend of genres, while intriguing, didn't propel it higher in the rankings. Despite a strong supporting cast, including May Calamawy as Scarlet Scarab, it failed to secure a second season.

9. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

Despite the on-screen chemistry between Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier" faced challenges. Murky moral dilemmas, heavy reliance on the Blip storyline, and a focus on espionage over action contributed to its lower ranking. Production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic may have also impacted the final product. Nevertheless, its narrative elements are crucial to the current MCU storyline.
